In this thread, I'm asking for personal experiences and anecdotes concerning duals and how that is experienced. Not to be told whether or not I'm typed properly.

I'm not the one who brought up your type...

No, you're the one who found it necessary to barge in and tell me my OP was rubbish. I indulged you by making a counter argument though, and you re right, I shouldn't have. If you cannot resist the urge to answer here again, I'll take it to your VM.

I made a substantive contribution to the question posed by the OP, with theoretical backdrop included.

But if we're talking about duals and Socionics and what not, the accuracy of the quadra idea should be up for discussion.

I didn't say your OP was rubbish.

I said one (minor, nonessential, but still fundamentally important) claim within it was.

Do you feel that instant pull, that supposed connection when you meet someone who is your dual and what is it like? How do you know for sure? What is the dual connection about for you?

List of Duals, for those needing the reference. Keep in mind that your MBTI does not necessarily translate and feel free to check out the quadra threads and the identification thread for this, if need be.

In cases of two extremely mature and developed individuals of their respective types, then it could be magical.

If, you know, they're attracted to each other.

And all the other stuff lines up as well.

Maybe, but probably not.

Your observations aren't out of line with reality.

Duals have conflicts a lot of the time.

Yes, I easily spot ESTJs, although it's less love/hate than despise intensely or develop a gentle fondness for over time.
I was good buddies with an ESTJ girl in childhood, but that bond in no way rivaled the ENFP best friend I had, who was more like a kindred spirit.

Okay, for the sake of the game, I'll tell you my reaction to ESTPs (since IEI sounds more like me, being 4ish). I tend to get along swimmingly with them until it all falls to pieces because they have no morals (!) or dismiss them as meatheads rather apathetically. They almost never make my blood boil like some ESTJs can.
